Have 1988 Suzuki samurai the distributor is getting hot and when get up to high speeds misses if it sits running long enough it will cut off just does new distributor coil plugs cap rotor timing good have had vehicals for eight years everyday driver got me stumped also new alternator the igniter in distributor getting so hot will burn your hand any ideas thanks

There 2 issues, here.
first all dizzy get hot , 180F is the engine temp and the dizzy
will get near that temp. its unavoidable. that fact.
or worse parked and hot soaked,

the ignitor is bad.
a rebuilt dizzy from CARDONE , is about 1/2 the price of the internal bad parts. (VR sensor and ignitor)

need a link to the part?
you get to find out early or late
see ignition choice.
